I can't speak for Coolbeans, but people generally don't treat review scores as a science, nor do they average their sub-scores. I usually just put down whatever number I feel like based on what I wrote, and don't worry about it beyond that. #2.1.2

@Ashunderfire86 Again, that doesn't make the least bit of difference. Fact is, Gearbox owns the IP, PERIOD, end of story. 3D Realms can think whatever they want about how GB is treating the IP, but they don't have any legal right to develop a new Duke game and, therefore, they are in the wrong here. Gearbox could have literally shipped DNF as a box with a piece of s**t in it and 3D Realms would still be in the wrong in this situation. #2.1.2

"...cut scenes broken up some really fun and challenging combat challenge rooms, but all at the expense of pacing (look up ludonarrative dissonance for more on this topic)."

This is NOT ludonarrative dissonance. Ludonarrative dissonance is a conflict in themes or actions between cutscenes and gameplay, not cutscenes splitting up gameplay sections. People need to stop throwing this term around because they think it sounds intellectual. #18

Just because they have all that stuff doesn't mean that they're suceeding. Their TV sales have been low lately, for example. Those TVs cost money to develop and produce, money that they aren't necessarily recouping in sales.

Just because a company offers a lot doesn't mean that they're bringing in enough money. #21.1

In these comments; Ridiculous damage control coming from people who don't realize that this analysis isn't from an "xbot" or "Sony hater", but from software made solely for the purpose of determining these kinds of things. #19
